Perhaps real progressives should be wary of Obama tapping him to be administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. On its editorial page, the Journal calls him "a regulator with promise."
It then claims: "Sunstein, a professor at Harvard Law School, is no conservative -- far from it." Well, if by that, the Journalistas mean he's a wide-eyed 1960s radical, far from it. He's somewhere in the amorphous bounds of Democratic Party-neoliberalism and nothing else.
And, although the Journal wants to see him do battle with Carol Browner, my fear is that before that, he'll be doing tag-team work with Larry Summers.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
